Nov 6🏈 Beyond the Field: Exploring New Career Possibilities with the @atlantafalcons!Our Raising Expectations students recently went behind the scenes with the Atlanta Falcons to explore careers beyond the football field! From walking the practice field with NFL scouts to stepping into roles as coaches, scouts, medical professionals and even the NFL Commissioner during a mock draft, our students discovered the many opportunities that exist in professional sports. At RE, we believe exposure creates opportunity. When young people see careers in action, they begin to imagine new possibilities for their futures. 💙💚 Thank you to the Atlanta Falcons for opening doors and helping our students envision what's possible! #RaisingExpectations #AtlantaFalcons #CareerExploration #MoreOpportunitiesMorePossibilitiesGet involved
